The Power of Football

Meet the World tournaments are about fulfilling dreams. About feeling the power of friendship and the strength of team spirit. It is a chance for young people to dream and be the stars of tomorrow. Watch the film about the Italian Meet the World tournament.

In Italy we followed Nicolo Marinella and his team ACD Poggese during the Meet the World tournament and their dreams of playing in Gothia Cup. This was the first year that SKF Italy arranged Meet the World, and they decided to have it in the town Poggio Rusco in northern Italy, an area that was hit by an earthquake 2012. As a way in giving back to the community SKF invited kids from the affected area.

In the end did Nicolo and ACD Poggese stand as winners of Meet the World, they will represent Italy in Gothia Cup that kicks off July 14. 23 more SKF teams from all over the world will join ACD Poggese in Gothia Cup, all the way from Brazil to China. Click here to read more about SKF and Gothia Cup.
